South Carolina as well as the nation, is facing a teacher shortage, and through this program, we will bring new people into the profession.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Troy Terry:<\/strong> The Master of Arts in Teaching program is specifically designed for folks who already have a degree and see themselves as a content specialist. The reason they probably majored in that subject is they have a natural affinity or love for the subject, whether it&#8217;s for biology or math or Spanish and typically, that was probably inspired by a teacher who really made them love that subject. Those folks you&#8217;ve always thought about teaching but never really considered it, are looking back and thinking, &#8216;Okay, at this point in my life this is what I&#8217;m going to do&#8217; and the MAT is really going to give them the tools to go back and emulate that experience that they had and share that love of their content area in a new high school classroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Mike Svec:<\/strong> One of the strengths of the program is the relationship that will be formed between the professors and the students and all good teaching begins with the student teacher relationship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Troy Terry:<\/strong> One of the most exciting things about the Master of Arts in Teaching information, is that it&#8217;s field based, and so it&#8217;s truly engaged learning. Students will be observing master teachers in their own classrooms working with students from the very beginning, and it&#8217;s a three semester program. From start to finish, in 12 months from observing someone else&#8217;s classroom to being a teacher of record in their own classroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Mike Svec:<\/strong> This program will serve those who had decided and chosen and now understand what their destiny is and that destiny is a classroom.<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to begin your journey towards becoming a teacher?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/admission.furman.edu\/apply\"><strong>Apply Today!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Transcript: Dr. Mike Svec: What Inspires me about the Furman MAT program is that it is addressing a pressing need.
